Submitted by johanv on do, 06/10/2011 - 19:09
Last weekend, I installed Arch Linux for the second time (I messed up my first installation). After the installation process, I found myself in a command line system (as expected), so I had to install a lot of applications by hand.
Just as a reference, I will list the packages I installed, so that I have them for if I ever have to reinstall Arch from scratch again.
Some basic command line tools:
- lynx
- openssh
- mutt
- pwgen
Services
- ntp
- cups
- networkmanager (interesting for laptop; replace standard network service by networkmanager)
- pulseaudio
- pulseaudio-alsa
- lib32-libpulse
